thx percy, what a great mixtape!! this is a really happy birthday!
AntwortenLöschenYes, great, great mix ♥ "I Like Flipper's Guitar" is marvelous.. I've heard songs written in tribute to bands before, but never ones where practically every single line of the verses is a reference to a song title.. true dedication! And everything was strung together so smartly~ Remarkable ♥
AntwortenLöschen..And you know, I recognized "5 Years Time" from having heard it used in a commercial before.. I'm pretty sure it was a car advertisement..? So it's nice to have proper identification for a song I thought was catchy. ..It's a bit of a shame that I can't hear it without thinking of cars though.. but I guess that is what happens when you hear songs used in commercials, sometimes. They are inextricably linked to the product they're being attached to in the commercial they are being featured in :\ ..Unless you were acquainted with them before they showed up in a commercial, because Iggy Pop's "Lust for Life" and "The Passenger" were used heavily in commercials for cars and vacation plans, and I never think of either of those things when I hear those songs now. ..Well, most of the time. Sometimes I find myself thinking of cruise ships when I hear "Lust for Life", which is a truly terrible thing.. Anyway, a good song is still a good song, however you discover it, so..
"The Northern Song" was another standout as well, and enjoyed the song Lorraine Bowen was featured on that appeared on Les Yper Sound, so it was good to see her back with a song that was just as enjoyable on this mix as well :) She seems like a very.. ah.. interesting lady~
It was a particularly delightful treat to have another installment of this series posted, so, as always, thank you very much for compiling and sharing ♥
